1984 Mercedes-Benz 380 SL - Only 32,383 miles. All original

RB Collection is very pleased to offer this outstanding 1984 Mercedes-Benz 380SL roadster. This two-owner example has covered just 32,383 miles from new. Originally delivered to Euro Motorcars of Bethesda, Maryland, it is a highly original car that has never been restored, but rather has been carefully maintained and cherished from day one. The stunning color combination of Anthracite Grey Metallic (Code 172) over Henna Red leather (code 257) was an $853 option. The color is very rare and looks spectacular on this classic body style. The body is absolutely straight with no dents, dings or accident damage. Original paintwork is beautiful and a paint gauge shows consistent readings all across the body. It is solid and free of corrosion or rust repair. Like any classic Mercedes should, the doors shut with a satisfyingly solid sound and the panel gaps are precise all around. Typical trouble areas such as the rockers, rear splash panel and front lower fascia are solid and excellent.
Inside, the lovely reddish-brown leather is in excellent condition with no rips, tears or excessive wear. Carpets are excellent and again show no stains or excessive wear. The cockpit wood trim is in great condition and complete, the dash is free of cracks, and even the original black canvas soft top, first aid kit and Becker Grand Prix cassette deck are in place. Inside the trunk is the original jack, battery box and original spare on an alloy wheel. Included in the sale will be the original hard top, hard top stand, books, extensive service records and a copy of the original invoice showing this car cost a very stout $44,673 in 1984.
Our in house team has performed an extensive, 108-point inspection and found this SL to be in excellent condition. It has clearly been cared for with no expense spared – evident in such details as the Mercedes-Benz factory battery, correct Michelin tires, factory stickers and finishes on the exhaust and an extremely tidy engine bay with correct fittings, clamps and gold-cad plating. All electrical functions work as they should and a fresh oil service was performed as part of our inspection.
With SL values increasing across the board, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine, low mileage example in collector-quality condition. It is highly original and has clearly been a cherished car from the day it was delivered. This is a no-stories 380SL that is ready for enjoyment.
